it as the external-facing pin of an I/O pad, and prevents ``iopadmap``
from inserting another pad cell on it.
-- The module attribute ``abc9_box_id`` specifies a positive integer linking a
- blackbox or whitebox definition to a corresponding entry in a `abc9`
- box-file.
+- The module attribute ``abc9_lut`` is an integer attribute indicating to
+ `abc9` that this module describes a LUT with an area cost of this value, and
+ propagation delays described using `specify` statements.
+
+- The module attribute ``abc9_box`` is a boolean specifying a black/white-box
+ definition, with propagation delays described using `specify` statements, for
+ use by `abc9`.
- The port attribute ``abc9_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and
carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for
`abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute
onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit.
-- The output port attribute ``abc9_arrival`` specifies an integer, or a string
- of space-separated integers to be used as the arrival time of this blackbox
- port. It can be used, for example, to specify the clk-to-Q delay of a flip-
- flop output for consideration during `abc9` techmapping.
-
-- The input port attribute ``abc9_required`` specifies an integer, or a string
- of space-separated integers to be used as the required time of this blackbox
- port. It can be used, for example, to specify the setup-time of a flip-flop
- input for consideration during `abc9` techmapping.
-
- The module attribute ``abc9_flop`` is a boolean marking the module as a
flip-flop. This allows `abc9` to analyse its contents in order to perform
sequential synthesis.
